Objective To observe three-dimensional structure and biological features of rat acellular spinal cord scaffold prepared by sonic oscillation and chemical extraction in order to offer an ideal scaffold for spinal cord tissue engineering research.Methods Rat spinal cord underwent acellular treatment with sonic oscillation and chemical extraction (Triton X-100 at volume fracture of 2% and sodium deoxycholate at volume fracture of 2%) (acellular spinal cord group).In contrast with spinal cord tissue of normal rats (control group),general morphology,histology and ultramicro three-dimensional structure of acellular spinal cord scaffold were observed and aperture size,factor of porosity,water ratio,enzymolysis ratio and stability in water solution of the scaffold were also detected.Results Acellular spinal cord group showed effective removal of original cell components with factor of porosity for (94.57 ±3.45) % and water content for (88.62 ± 1.0) %,and satisfactory three-dimensional structure with average aperture of 46 μm.Scaffold showed gradual degradation in enzymolysis solution and enzymolysis rate reached (69.03 ± 2.19)% at 20 hours.Besides,scaffold showed stepwise disintegration in double distilled water and hydrolysis rate was (62.55 ± 1.70) % at 8 days.While,normal spinal cord showed close structure,generous neurons and myelin sheath with factor of porosity for (0.04 ± 0.02) % and water content for (62.4 ± 1.5) %,and unobvious pore structure under scanning electron microscope.Normal spinal cord were degraded gradually in enzymolysis solution and enzymolysis rate was (37.62 ± 0.9)% at 20hours.In the meantime,normal spinal cord were disintegrated gradually in double distilled water and hydrolysis rate was (40.97 ± 0.81) % at 8 days.Conclusions Acellular spinal cord scaffold prepared by sonic oscillation plus chemical extraction achieves complete removal of cell components,intact extracellular matrix,and satisfactory results in three-dimensional network structures,factor of porosity and water content.Also,the scaffold meets theoretical demands of tissue-engineered spinal cord scaffold and is an ideal alterative for tissue-engineered spinal cord scaffold.

Objective: To establish an animal model for research of maxillary protraction. Methods: 16 pubertal rabbits were assigned randomly to 2 groups. Titanium bone markers were fixed on each side of mucogingival junction, 1 cm above incisor teeth. The experimental group underwent maxillary protraction by self-made distraction devices. A down and forward elastic force (about 3.43 N) was exerted for 30 days. Results: In 30 d, the distance of premaxilla movement in the experimental group was 1.89 mm averagely, while that in the control group was only 0.11 mm. Cephalometric analysis indicated that the maxilla of rabbits was moved forward obviously by appliance in the experimental group, and maxilla was not rotated. There was no obvious difference between the control and the experimental groups. Conclusion: Animal model used in this experiment for maxillary protraction is reliable. The appliance can move the rabbits maxilla forward obviously during the maxillary protraction.

OBJECTIVE By investigating the incidence of nosocomial infection with objective monitoring method and prospective overall monitoring method, to analyze the advantage and significance between two methods. METHODS Using the objective monitoring method to study the incidence of nosocomial infection of patients after neurosurgical operation from May to December in 2003 and using the prospective overall monitoring method to study the incidence of nosocomial infection of patients after neurosurgical operation from May to December in 2002. All data were analyzed with Stata 7.0 soft. RESULTS There were 100 cases occurring nosocomial infection in 267 neurosurgical operation patients. The patient incidence of nosocomial infection was 37.5% and the rate of nosocomial infection cases was 50.9% with objective monitoring method, that was significant higher than those data coming from May to December in 2002 with 248 cases under prospective overall monitoring method, with which the patient incidence of nosocomial infection and the rate of nosocomial infection cases were 20.2%(50 cases ) and 21.4%(53 cases), respectively . Statistically significant difference was found (P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of nosocomial infection(NI) in patients with hematological malignancies(HM),and provide the bases for making the controlling measures of NI.METHODS Using the targeted monitoring to study NI in patients with HM,and recording 14 factors such as the time of hospitalization,chemotherapy,count of leukocyte and absolute neutrophil count(ANC) and so on.The data were analyzed with unifactorial ?2 test and multifactorial Logistic-regression analysis.RESULTS Among 242 patients with HM the prevalence of NI was 35.5%(86/242) and the prevalence of NI time-cases was 52.9%(128/242).Among 86 patients of NI there were 27 patients occurred multiple sites NI(31.4%).The main infection sites were upper respiratory tract,gastrointestinal tract,lower respiratory tract,oral cavity and blood.66.7% Of NI happened in the period of chemotherapy and 7 days after chemotherapy.The time of hospitalization and ANC were independent risk factors of NI in patients with HM.CONCLUSIONS The patients with HM are susceptible population of NI,and NI often occurs in the period of chemotherapy and 7 days after chemotherapy.So medical staff should strengthen monitoring,and shorten the time of patient hospitalization and of recovery of ANC to reduce the prevalence of NI efficiently.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the bacterial distribution and drug resistance in lower respiratory tract nosocomial infection(NI).METHODS To investigate 351 patients suffered from lower respiratory tract NI using the prospective monitoring methods,and doing the pathogenic bacterium cultivation for sputums of 351 patients and then taking the susceptibility test.RESULTS Totally 346 pathogenic bacteria were found in sputums of 351 patients.The major pathogenic bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Klebsiella and Staphylococcus aureus.ESBLs were 36.0% and 40.0%,respectively in E.coli and Klebsiella,and MRSA were 82.1% in S.aureus.Drug resistances were common in Gram-negative bacilli(GNB) and Gram-positive cocci.Piperacillin/tazobactam and cefoperazone/sulbactam and imipenem were the most sensitive for GNB,S.aureus,S.epidermidis and Enterococcus were all sensitive to vancomycin.CONCLUSIONS Drug resistance of the pathogenic bacteria in lower respiratory tract NI is common,so it′s necessary to emphasize pathogenic bacterium monitoring and use the antibacterials exactly.

ObjectiveThe clinical features, bacteria distribution and antibiotic resistance proifle of blood stream infection(BSI) were investigated in the patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis for better management of such infections.MethodsThe clinical data of BSI were collected in the patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis between January, 2012 and December, 2014, and reviewed retrospectively in terms of risk factors, diagnosis and treatment, pathogen distribution and prognosis.ResultsOf the 1 071 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and suspected bacterial infection, 154 (14.4%) were diagnosed as BSI evidenced by blood culture. Of these patients, the leukocyte count in the peripheral blood was higher than 10×109/L in only 48 (31.2%) patients; neutrophil proportion>0.75 in 133 patients (86.4%); serum procalcitonin level>0.5 ng/mL in 74 patients (68.5%). A total of 155 bacterial strains were isolated, including 115 strains of gram-negative bacilli and 40 strains of gram-positive cocci. Most patients (68.8%) recovered and 31.2% died or discharged from hospital voluntarily. All these BSI patients had Child-Pugh grade C liver function. Some patients also had other serious systemic diseases or repeated hospitalization.ConclusionThe prevalence of BSI is high in the decompensated liver cirrhosis patients with poor prognosis. Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens of such septicemia. Early diagnosis and proper use of antibiotics based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing are important to improve patient outcome.
